Annora:It had been four days. Four days of knowing Chia was a vampire.Four days spent inside my quarters, avoiding everyone- every knock and every plea to come out. I wasn't listening.Four days, missing all of my classes. I knew I'd be behind, but quite frankly, I needed a reset, and I simply didn't care. It wouldn't take much for me to get caught up, and I had access to all of my books and the necessary content to stay current in our reading.It's 9 a.m., and I've already been awake for hours. I've showered, gotten dressed, done my hair and makeup, and been lying on my bed reading—not for school but for me.A knock comes from the entryway down the hall, and I contemplate even responding before I sit up in bed and hear the knock again.It's strange how something as simple as a knock can tell you who is at the door.Some people had signature knocks, whether it be the weight they put behind the knock itself, the number of times they knock, or the small jingle they always create when

Annora:Father had noticed the way I had been scratching at my skin. Those herbs were making me itch like crazy.Otto looked nervous. Maybe for giving me those stupid herbs? I wasn't entirely sure, but I was happy when I was able to leave the room without them.My body didn't feel like my own, but I knew I needed to get it together or Father would question me like none other, and I couldn't handle that right now."I'll give you a scenario, the first person to say the law that correlates with the situation gets a point. First person to three points wins," Gerrard says.I was pulled into a room with Noah after he finished his test first, and we now sit side by side in front of Gerrard, my father's assistant."Wins?" I ask.Why is Father testing me? I know this information like the back of my hand.Gerrard ignores my questions and pulls out a deck of hard stock cards before looking back up at us."A vampire passes through Fae lands without prior approval, but they do so to save someone,"

Annora:Of course, I knew it wasn't healthy to numb the real numbness inside of you.Did I care at this moment? Not really, especially not after the third shot started to make my skin tingle."Okay, tiger. Why don't we get to the real issue? Are you going to tell me why you're suddenly so curious about Fae and Vampires? he asks, keeping the bottle out of my grasp.I sigh and lick my lips, reminding myself of my anatomy. I had only ever had a few glasses of wine. This experience was new to me.Thankfully, Fae wasn't affected the way humans were. I still feel in my right mind, but my physical body is feeling all of it."Can't a girl be curious?" I ask.He's not buying it, of course. Was he always this pretty to look at?Shit. Maybe the alcohol was hitting me a little harder than I realized.I straighten my posture and clear my throat. He chuckles and leans back into the side of the couch, watching me try to resemble any bit of sobriety I had left."What's in that?" I ask.There was no w

Annora:I wouldn't say that I've been kept from everything that I knew, but the secrets keep piling up. I walk inside the castle and pull out my phone, noticing a text from Darin.Darin: That was unacceptable today. I'm your professor, and I expect better from you. I will let your father know about this.Was that supposed to scare me?Numb is an understatement for how I feel, but I'm trying my best to stay focused and do what I have to. I grab the pills from my bag and pop one in after feeling my skin itching again before tossing my phone back into my bag.The burner phone sits at the bottom, untouched and unused, and I don't have the energy to see what cruel comments Darin has sent to that phone.I'm not ready. I don't even know what I'm not ready for, but I knew now was not the time."Hey, you're back early," Otto's voice rings out as I turn the hallway towards my father's office."Yeah, I wasn't feeling the best," I mutter.A maid nearby looks over at me but doesn't say anything.

Jacob:Neither of them is moving, speaking, or possibly breathing, and I can't blame either of them for the shock of the situation.Nora slowly lifts her hand to the glass, still separating the two of them, and places it flat against it. Chia's gaze moves from Nora's hand to me, making eye contact with me for the first time.This wasn't supposed to be what we found. Chia had died, or so we had thought. There are some holes in the information that we had received.Coming inside this building was a terrible idea, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't give me information that I needed—that we needed."Are you okay?" Nora finally speaks, drawing Chia's attention back to her.Surely, she can speak right? But she isn't making the effort.She looks different. She's now pale like Nora. Her eyes have changed, and she looks numb inside. If emptiness had a physical appearance, it would be Chia."Nora, we need to go," I whisper.I turn back to look down the hallway, everyone is still retreated bac

Jacob:This wasn't going to end well."Nora!" I hiss, pulling her arm back."What? I'm going to be Queen soon, whatever this is," she waves around our surroundings. "It's my business to know."Stubborn didn't touch the surface for this woman. When she sets her mind to something, not much else matters. I looked around, but there were still no sounds, not even rustling from any forest animals, which I'm starting to find very odd. Knowing the nature of this place, it did make a little bit of sense."Nora, we don't know what's in there. It could be dangerous," I comment.I have to admit, I'm a little bit scared. That's saying something, as I don't scare easily."What aren't you telling me?" she asks.I step back, observing her stance. Her hands are folded over her chest, and she raises an eyebrow as if she somehow knows I already know more than I've said.That wouldn't be possible, right? Now I'm getting paranoid. I'm not from her region; she shouldn't have a strong enough connection t
